Current Preservation

The Hanging Flume today is in disrepair. Due to decades of neglect, road clean-up, abuse, scavenging and natural elements very little of the original flume still clings to the canyon walls. Thanks to great organizations such as the State Historical Fund and the Colorado State Historical Society, measures are being taken to preserve our heritage and the history of our forefathers.

Specifically, the State Historical Fund has awarded a grant to interpret and create awareness of this special place in remote Colorado.
